The kernel version in UEK Release 3 (UEK R3) is based on the
mainline Linux kernel version 3.8.13. Low-level system utilities
that expect the kernel version to start with 2.6 can run without
change if they use the UNAME26 personality
(for example, by using the uname26 wrapper
utility).
The UEK R3 kernel packages are available on the
ol6_x86_64_UEKR3_latest channel. For more
information, see Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Documentation.
